From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting. I didn't realize XCursor predates most image formats XD
X* predates almost everything still in common use.
Which is, frankly, amazing.
It's also why Wayland took (is taking) so long. It has to compete against X11 with decades of development.
That's a tall order.
it is ancient when talking about computer related things. 1984 was the initial release. Almost twice my age holy!
Well I’ll just go ahead and die of old age then since I was alive during its initial release
